Cannot handle big arrays

new can.List( new Array( 10000 ))

results in Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

The problem is that array -> List conversion internally ends up using Function.prototype.apply to forward the operation to Array.prototype.push. Just like call, the apply method can only handle so many arguments and going over the limit results in the call stack size being exceeded because of all the arguments being pushed onto the call stack.

This could be resolved by internally splitting the operation into smaller, more managable chunks.
All the List methods that borrow from Array.prototype have this problem, actually.

Going to move this to canjs/can-list.
